摘要
The paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN) appears to integrate orexigenic properties of a novel peptide, ghrelin. Thus, we examined central mechanisms underlying feeding generated by intra-PVN ghrelin. We established that 0.03 nmol of PVN-injected ghrelin was the lowest dose increasing food consumption and it induced c-Fos immunoreactivity (a marker of neuronal activation) in the PVN itself, as well as in other feeding-related brain areas, including the hypothalamic arcuate and dorsomedial nuclei, central nucleus of the amygdala, and nucleus of the solitary tract. We conclude that the PVN, as part of larger central circuitry, mediates orexigenic properties of ghrelin. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
